Chateau de Myrat 2012, Sauternes, 375ml £6.99 at Aldi

Reduced from £14.99, this sweet wine seems to get pretty good reviews, including from Decanter magazine (http://www.decanter.com/reviews/bordeaux/chateau-de-myrat-2012/) and is a Grande Cru Classe. It seems the going price is about £10 but for a minimum of 6 bottles, or about £13 for a single bottle. Apparently it'll pair nicely with seafood, east Asian dishes, cheeses, or the classic of foie gras or pâté.

Despite your name, I sense that your tastes might be a tad too refined for oiks like us on HUKD.

I'm an oik, too. Just one who got exposed to wine via my partner and some wine tastings. Google and Wotwine? are my friends (along with Aldi and Lidl, who I think out-perform M&S, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Asda on consistency of quality wines and value).

​ Thanks for the heads-up! We have so many sweet wines already that we shouldn't really get another, but at that price, it's impossible to resist. My OH got one this morning. The further reduced price wasn't on the shelf-edge ticket, but it went through at £6.99.
